It was a legendary story but at the same time, there was no special function. Nevertheless, the existence of the story itself was enough to attract the attention of the wenny man.
“This story…?”
“How about it? Do you like it?”
The wenny man stared at the story with eyes full of disbelief. His eyes trembled as if such a story wasn't possible. The long fingertips touched the window and the contents of the story started to play.
Peok! Peok! Peeeok!
The intermediate dokkaebi Paul was being pounded by my fists. Every time the face of the dokkaebi was battered, an expression of shock crossed the wenny man's face.
The story 'One Who Showed Contempt for a Streamer.'
Even if this story was given, I had five stories above the legendary level and my status wouldn't be jeopardized. Naturally, it was a story that the wenny man was bound to love. They were those who like to swear at the dokkaebi and was bound to like stories beating the dokkaebi up.
“Kuk, kukuk… kuhahahat!”
The wenny man soon let out a burst of laughter. I waited until he had fully enjoyed it.
“Good, I'll take this. It is a very pleasant story.”
“Then do we have a deal?”
“It is still lacking. The story you gave is rare but it has almost no functional value.
…I figured this would come out. I quickly added, “Then I'll give you Silla Allied Forces as well.”
“…It is still insufficient. If you want to continue the transaction, you have to change the contents of the deal.”
“Change it? How?”
“As I said earlier, you asked for two things. One is to return to the scenario and the other is to get a new 'incarnation body.'”
I thought for a moment before asking, “Is this story enough to only cover one of them?”
“That's right. To be exact, I can only help you get an incarnation body.”
Gaining an incarnation body. This was naturally important. However…
“Why can't you return me to the scenario? Can't you originally help with this much?”
“You talk like you know something.”
“I've heard some things.”
Rather, I had read about it. Cheok Jungyeong was excluded from the scenario and I remembered what the nebula Hongik paid.
The wenny man stared into my eyes and said, “Hmm… normally this price would be enough but the current situation is a bit special.”
“Special?”
“The bureau and nebulae are nervous due to everything you have done.”
I somehow understood what he was talking about. The wenny man kept speaking. “Returning an exile to the scenario is a lot more expensive than you think. It is one of the most intensive consumption of probability in the entire Star Stream. Still, as you know, I have a close relationship with the 'eyes' of the probability.
“In a situation like this where many eyes are watching, you will have to pay too much probability.”
“Yes. Furthermore, I don't know the reason but the branch manager of the bureau, Baram has come out and all existing transaction windows are blocked. At present, the straight route of return to the scenario is almost completely blocked. I can't afford it, even if you pay a bigger price.”
I couldn't go straight back to Earth…
The situation wasn't as smooth as I thought. The wenny man looked at me and asked, “Do you just want an incarnation body? This is a legendary story so I can give you a decent body. There are a number of healthy incarnation bodies that I have recovered from the Murim side.”
Incarnation bodies from Murim. It was an enticing proposition. However, I shook my head. No matter how good the body, it would be futile if I couldn't return to the scenario.
A new incarnation body could stop the collapse for a while but if I didn't return to the scenario, the collapse would still persist.
The wenny man was making such a suggestion because he knew this. Once my new incarnation body was broken down from the exile penalty, he would try to take my other stories with a new deal.
I decided to push harder. “I have to go back to the scenario. By any means. It is more important than getting an incarnation body.”
